About
Classic Roof India

Leading manufacturer of roofing and metal products
High-value inventory (single coil value exceeds ₹15 lakhs)
Complex gate, warehouse, and dispatch operations

Classic Roof India is a manufacturing company operating in a high-value raw material and finished goods environment, where accuracy in inventory movement, dispatch, and vehicle tracking is critical.

As operations scaled, the company started facing real-time execution gaps that resulted in financial losses, operational inefficiencies, and lack of visibility across gate, warehouse, and dispatch activities.

Before implementing Syncrra, Classic Roof India struggled with manual processes and disconnected control points that hindered their operational efficiency and created significant risks in their high-value inventory environment.

The Challenge

Classic Roof India faced critical execution gaps in gate entry, dispatch operations, and vehicle tracking that resulted in significant financial losses and operational inefficiencies.

Gate Entry vs Inward Entry Mismatch

Two coils were mentioned during gate entry, but only one inward entry was recorded in the system. This discrepancy went unnoticed until later reconciliation. Since the cost of a single coil exceeds ₹15 lakhs, this resulted in a significant financial loss and highlighted a serious control gap between gate entry and inward processing.

Impact: Single coil loss exceeding ₹15 lakhs

Dispatch Mismatch Between Packing List and Loading

A packing list was generated for 10 items, but only 9 items were actually loaded and dispatched. As there was no real-time validation during vehicle loading, the mismatch was discovered only after dispatch, leading to customer issues, rework, and loss of trust.

Impact: Customer dissatisfaction and rework costs

No Visibility on Vehicle Dwell Time and Movement

Vehicles often entered the gate in the morning but exited the next day. There was no clear visibility into how long vehicles were waiting, time taken for loading or unloading, or bottlenecks causing delays. This resulted in poor yard management, inefficient resource planning, and increased vehicle turnaround time.

Impact: 24+ hour vehicle turnaround time

Manual Processes Leading to Execution Gaps

Heavy reliance on manual checks and human intervention created opportunities for errors and discrepancies. Lack of real-time validation and automated controls resulted in reactive reconciliation instead of proactive execution control.

Impact: High operational risk and accountability gaps

The Syncrra Solution

Classic Roof India implemented Syncrra ERP with a focus on execution control, traceability, and real-time visibility to close critical gaps in gate entry, dispatch validation, and vehicle movement tracking.

1

Mandatory Inward Entry Validation Linked to Gate Entry

The Syncrra was configured to mandate inward entries for all materials mentioned during gate entry.

  • If two coils are entered at the gate, the system does not allow gate completion unless two inward entries are recorded
  • One-to-one validation between gate entry and actual inward material
  • Eliminated missing material entries and prevented high-value inventory losses
  • Real-time alerts for any discrepancies between gate and inward data
2

Scan-Based Dispatch Loading Control

A scan-based loading mechanism was implemented to ensure 100% dispatch accuracy.

  • Each packet/item must be scanned before loading into the dispatch vehicle
  • System validates scanned items against the packing list in real-time
  • Vehicle loading is allowed only when all items are scanned and matched
  • Prevents dispatch discrepancies and enables real-time tracking of loaded items
3

Vehicle Dwell Time and Movement Tracking

End-to-end vehicle movement tracking provides complete visibility into yard operations.

  • Dwell time starts automatically when the vehicle enters the gate
  • System tracks time spent on waiting, loading, and unloading activities
  • Gate-out time is recorded to calculate total turnaround time
  • Provides complete visibility into vehicle movement and operational delays
